At last, I've finished them! Daughters of Zeus and Mnemosyne, they are the embodiments and protectors of art and inspiration. Not all of them turned out as I imagined, but I decided to post them all together like this I hope you like them! (They form a rainbow or something, I know it's kinda cheesy)

From left to right, in each line, they are:Melpomene: the Muse of Tragedy. It was common to invoke her to get beautiful and dramatic phrases. Her emblem is the tragic mask, but she also wears a high belt and cothurnus, the boots worn by tragic actors.Thalia: the Muse of Comedy. Her emblem is the comic mask (which always seemed kinda creepy to me) and the ivy wreath. She also wears boots. She was also considered the muse of idyllic poetry, so she must be an optimistic one Euterpe: the Muse of Music, she plays many instruments, but her emblem is the aulos, a double-flute from Ancient Greece that she invented.Clio: the Muse of History. She was the mother of Hyacinth, one of Apollo's lovers Her emblems are the scrolls, but I prefer a good book. Calliope: arguably the leader of the muses, she's the Muse of Epicness, I mean Epic poetry. She was Homer's muse, that says it all. She was also a lover of Ares and had many children with him not making Aphrodite angry or anything because, you know, Calliope is awesome Urania: the Muse of Astronomy. Her emblems are the globe and the compass, but I forgot the compass and put many stars in her crown and cloak because I love stars. Also, she's the muse who protects philosophers.Erato: the Muse of love and erotic poetry She holds a cithara, a lyre from Ancient Greece, and wears a wreath of roses and myrtle. She and Eros usually work together, so beware.Terpsichore: the Muse of Dance. I didn't like the classical depiction of her sitting down playing a lyre. I think the muse of dance should, you know, dance around Polyhymnia: the Muse of Sacred hymns, poetry and eloquence. She wears a veil and is always shown meditative and serious. I think she should get to happy conclusions about life sometimes so here I gave her a smile

When I saw this I couldn't help but thinking from Hercules "We are the Muses goddesses of the arts and proclaimers of heroes." I couldn't help but think that even though Disney wasn't historically accurate they hit the mark with music. First of all Chiron wasn't a freacking satyr. HE. WAS. A. CENTAUR. DO NOT TRUST DISNEY FOR CORRECT INFORMATION THOU HAS BEEN WARNED.

These are soo stunning!!! Although they have their similarities they are all very unique. I especially love the electrifying mood Terpsichore gives off. So inviting! I love them all! Keep up the amazing work pleaseeee!!!

FINALLY!!!!! the last 2 Thalia and Urania are added, making it a complete set!!!!! And Urania looks beautiful and so does Thalia! I LOVE THE MUSES!!!! This is wonderful! Keep up with the Greek Myths!!THank you so much!
